Egyptian Art!



Egyptian art is unquestionably the art form that has captivated modern man. Hieroglyphs were a writing system invented by the ancient Egyptians. It was used from the predynastic until the fourth century. The ancient Egyptians used three basic types of writing: hieroglyphic, hieratic and demotic, the latter corresponds to the Late Period of Egypt.

Egyptian civilization not only created an architecture, sculpture and painting of breathtaking beauty, but also a culture that has made dream researchers, writers and ordinary people, where it melts the historical, the mythical and mysterious.
 

Egyptian art is an art that is closely related to the environment in which it operates. This media influences different aspects: firstly the geographical environment determines a closed culture that makes an art impervious to outside influences, it will evolve just as they will do will be on their own ways due to lack of communication with the outside.

On the other hand, the medium will determine some materials that indicate a disregard for earthly life and a desire to perpetuate the moral and the god of the dead, so that art is often a function of temples and tombs. This relates to both art determinants also are given by the media: the monarchy and religion.                                
 
Thus, Pharaoh and nobles from that time and priests will be the main customers. This is an official and courtly art, developed under the religion mainly because it is linked Pharaoh. It is therefore not an autonomous art.

Egyptian art is always subject to rules, so it is very similar and monotonous, so homogeneous. It's a stereotypical art is valued at more accuracy than the original finish. They also have a symbolic nature and magic.
